Mama Rest is a San Diego based postpartum meal service thoughtfully designed to nourish and support new mothers during the sacred early weeks after birth.

Grounded in the principles of Ayurveda, Mama Rest takes a holistic approach to postpartum care, honoring this period as a powerful time for healing, rejuvenation, and restoration.

We deliver freshly prepared, organic meals right to your doorstep each day, made to gently stimulate digestion, rebuild strength, and support deep, whole-body recovery.

Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that best fits your needs. Creating space for you to rest, restore, and focus on bonding with your baby - while we take care of the cooking.

What’s In It For You, Mama

We’ll provide daily nourishing Ayurvedic meals freshly cooked and delivered to restore your body and promote deep healing from the inside out.

Postpartum foods, the Ayurvedic way:

  • Warm & freshly prepared – Enhances digestion and comfort

  • Oily with healthy fats – Ghee, sesame oil, and olive oil rebuild strength and tissues

  • Moist and soft – Think soups, stews, and porridges to soothe the body

  • Avoid drying foods – Skip popcorn, black beans, and anything overly crunchy

  • Easy to digest – Say no to raw salads, frozen meals and cold drinks that can disrupt digestion
